I have a lot of ?'s
1) Mom is 6lbs and Dad 4lbs. is this an OK size to breed once?
2) Does the mother have to have an e-ray and an ultra sound, and about how much is it?
3) about how much is tail cropping and dew claw removel?
4) About how many pups are usually in a first and in my case only litter?
5) is there anything special I need to know about mom while preg?
I have never done this (oviously) and not sure I'm going to. I am considering breeding Lexi just once and not for a profit but to keep ALL of her pups. My mom has a friend who shows 3 yorkies and her male that would be Daddy is akc and a champ of many comps(not sure which ones but I do know he has been on TV for a couple of his shows). Anyway she also has no desire to breed but is letting him hook up with Lexi once just as a favor to me.
Now, before I would even atemp this I need lots of info. Like how to breed, when to breed, what to expect, about how much, (and money is not an issue, but I would like to know what I'm getting meself into) how often does she need to see the vet while pregnant, what kind of diet does she need to be on, when the time comes for the pups how will I know if she needs a c-section,how much do I assist when the pups are being born, or do I let mom do it all and only help if she can't? |
